    Notes: We describe the construction of a high voltage electric arc puller for controllable fabrication of bent near-field optical fiber probes. Various probes with bent angles ranging from 30° to 75° and bent lengths between 600 and 900 μm were successfully produced. The tip diameters achieved are between 100 and 200 nm. These bent type probes can be made into cantilevered probes that can be used for any dynamic mode atomic force microscope, and make the construction of a scanning near-field optical microscope easily attainable.© 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present the modification of a commercial tapping mode atomic force microscope into a reflection and transmission dual mode scanning near-field optical microscope. In the configuration, the normal force detection unit is replaced by a shear force detection module and an interfacing circuit. The tip-sample distance control is therefore similar to tapping mode operation. Detection of the near-field signals is based on photodiodes and the lock-in technique, and the resolutions obtained for the topography and the near-field signal are around 80 and 150 nm, respectively.© 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A nanocomposite Sm2Co17/Co magnet with a composition of Sm7Co93 was prepared by mechanical alloying. A domain–wall pinning mechanism was found to be dominant in the magnet, as investigated using Kronmüller's micromagnetic theory. Transmission electron microscopy micrographs indicate that the half width between neighboring Co grains is about 40 nm. This value is two times larger than the range factor, r0, obtained from Kronmüller's model. It appears that crystallographic defects other than the cobalt particles also play an important role in coercivity. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Yellow luminescence depth profiling on GaN epifilms using reactive ion etching (1998)

    Notes: Depth profiling measurements of photoluminescence on GaN epitaxial films grown on c-plane sapphire with metalorganic chemical vapor deposition have been performed. Dry etching technique of reactive ion etching is used with reactive gas of CCl2F2/H2/Ar under an operation power of 200 W. Before and after each etching, reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra are measured. Film thickness is determined from both the scanning electron microscopy and the interference oscillations of the reflectivity spectra. An excellent steady etching rate of 19.2 nm/min is established. The photoluminescence measurements show that both the near-band-edge and the yellow luminescence remain fairly constant until the film thickness of about 700 nm, and a large drop is obtained in the ratio of near-band-edge to yellow emission intensity under about 300 nm. Analysis shows that the yellow luminescence emitters are mostly confined within the near interface region, and supports the origin of yellow luminescence to be due to native defects instead of impurities. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    The role of capillary waves in two-fluid atomization (1997)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: A mechanistic study of two-fluid atomization has been carried out using a new spray technique called ultrasound-modulated two-fluid (UMTF) atomization. This technique is based on resonance between the liquid capillary waves generated by ultrasound and those generated by high-velocity air. Specifically, capillary waves are established on the surface of a liquid jet as it issues from a coaxial two-fluid atomizer, the nozzle tip of which vibrates at the same frequency as the ultrasound while the frequency of the capillary waves is only half of the ultrasound frequency. As these capillary waves travel downstream in the direction of air flow, their amplitude is further amplified by the air flowing around them. Atomization occurs when the wave amplitude becomes too great to maintain wave stability; the resulting drop sizes are proportional to the wavelength of the resonant capillary waves which is determined by the harmonic frequency of the ultrasound in accordance with the Kelvin equation. Theoretical calculations of the amplitude growth rate are based on two models of temporal instability of wind-generated capillary waves: Taylor's dispersion relation and Jeffreys' one-parameter (sheltering factor) model. Good agreements between the theoretical predictions by these models and the experimental results of how drop-size and size distributions are influenced by air velocity and surface tension led to the conclusion that Taylor-mode breakup of capillary waves plays a very important role in two-fluid atomization. Furthermore, all peak drop diameters can be accounted for by the harmonic frequencies of the ultrasound. Hence, it is further concluded that secondary atomization is negligible in co-flow two-fluid atomization of a water jet at air velocities up to 170 m/s and air-to-water mass ratio up to 5.6. In addition, uniform drops with diameters predetermined by the ultrasound frequency can be accomplished by adjusting the air velocity. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    A small-angle neutron scattering study of nonionic surfactant molecules at the water–oil interface: Area per molecule, microemulsion domain size, and rigidity (1997)

    Notes: The small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) of bicontinuous microemulsions of 19 different water-n-alkane-CiEj (n-alkylpolyglycolether) systems has been measured. All scattering curves exhibit a broad scattering peak which permits determining the characteristic length scale ξ for bicontinuous structures at symmetric water and oil volume fractions, i.e., φ=0.5. Various random models predict ξ=aδφ(1−φ)/φc. We find that ξ is indeed inversely proportional to the surfactant volume fraction φc. Approximating the effective surfactant chain length δ by δ=νc/ac, where ac and νc are the area and the volume of the surfactant molecule, the numerical value for a is determined to be a=7.16, which is close to, but significantly different from those used in theoretical models. The head group area ac at the water–oil interface is obtained from the large q part of the scattering curves. It is found to be independent of i and k, the carbon numbers of the alkyl chain of the surfactant and of the alkane, respectively. However, it depends strongly, and nearly linearly, on the head group size j of the surfactant. Within experimental error it is described by ac=29.3+6.20j (Å2). © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Optical and structural characterization of InAs/GaSb superlattices (1997)

    Notes: InAs/GaSb superlattices sandwiched between conventional InAs layers were grown by low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Period and roughness of the superlattices were examined by field emission transmission electron microscopy. Room temperature infrared absorption spectra for InAs/GaSb superlattices were obtained by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The effects of varying the doping levels and thicknesses of the InAs sandwiching layers on the absorption spectra of InAs/GaSb superlattices were studied. It was found that by choice of suitable doping levels and cap/buffer thicknesses, the resulting fermi level equalization (as in normal homo or heterojunctions) thereby allowed the setting or "pinning" of the superlattice Fermi level to any desired value within the range made available by the original bulk material characteristics in conjunction with the doping conditions. When the thicknesses of the InAs sandwiching layers became less than 1 μm, the sandwiching effect and the intersubband transition decreased dramatically. The structure of the interfaces inside the superlattice was also studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy was used to estimate interdiffusion conditions within the superlattice. The effects of different periods and purge gases on the absorption spectra were also studied. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Since 1992, mass mortalities among cultured giant tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius), and kuruma shrimp, Penaeus japonicus (Bate), have been observed in Taiwan. The condition is known as ‘white spot disease’ (WSD), based on the characteristic white spots on the cuticle of diseased shrimp. With the scanning electron microscope, two sizes of white spots were observed. Each spot represented a protrusion on the inside surface of the carapace. The composition of white spots was similar to that of the cuticule, most calcium, as determined with an energy dispersive spectrometer. Histological studies of moribund, infected specimens revealed degenerated cells, characterized by hypertrophied nuclei, in various meso- and ectodermal tissues. Infected tissues included cuticular epidermis, connective tissue, lymphoid organ, antennal gland, and haematopoietic, gill and nervous tissue. Nuclei were Feulgen-positive and no occlusion body was found in the necrotic tissue. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of rod-shaped and enveloped virions in the hypertrophied nuclei. The virions measured 298 ± 21 × 107 ± 8 nm in the giant tiger shrimp and 248 ± 12 × 104 ± 8 nm in the kuruma shrimp. In an experimental infection trial, cumulative mortality was 40% within 14 days under stress conditions. No mortality was observed in controls or in non-stressed infected shrimp. Experimental infections show that environmental stressors such as ammonia may enhance the severity of WSD virus infections in cultured shrimp.

    Mass mortalities associated with viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease in two species of hatchery-reared grouper, Epinephelus fuscogutatus and Epinephelus akaara (Temminck & Schlegel) (1997)

    Notes: Mass mortalities of hatchery-reared juvenile groupers have occurred in southern Taiwan. The diseased fish swam in a darting, corkscrew fashion. Light microscopy revealed vacuolation in the brain tissue. Electron microscopy showed numerous non-enveloped, cytoplasmic viral particles (20–25 nm in diameter) in the brain cells, and many virions were enclosed in the membrane-bound organelles of the cells. Two structural proteins of the purified grouper virus, with molecular weights of 44 and 43 kDa, were revealed by SDS-PAGE. Moreover, the results of RT-PCR and nested PCR diagnosis using primers specific to the T2 and T4 target segments of striped jack nervous necrosis virus (SJNNV) RNA2 genes suggest that this virus is a fish nodavirus, and is designated as GNNV 9410 strain (grouper nervous necrosis virus strain 9410). This is the first case report of viral nervous necrosis among marine fish in Taiwan.

    Notes: Mycobacterium spp. isolated from food and ornamental fish in Thailand (TB1, TB40, TB267 and TB268), and the type strains Mycobacterium marinum (NCIMB 1298), M. fortuitum (NCIMB 1294) and M. chelonae (NCIMB 1474) were cultured in Long’s medium, Eagle’s minimum essential medium, Sauton’s medium and modified Sauton’s medium. The latter enabled excellent growth and production of extracellular products (ECP) from TB 40, TB267, TB268 and M. marinum NCIMB 1298 in particular, whereas growth and production of ECP for all strains was limited in Long’s medium. SDS-PAGE protein profiles of ECPs from 14-day culture supernatants showed major bands at 65 and 〈14 kDa. After 2 days culture at the higher temperature of 37°C (heat shock), the production of ECP from all mycobacteria strains except M. marinum averaged approximately four- to 10-fold higher than from strains cultured for 14 days at 28°C. Enzyme testing for the type strains indicated only mucinase activity for M. marinum, while lipase and RNase activities were detected for M. chelonae and M. fortuitum. Protease and DNase activities could not be detected for any of the Mycobacterium spp. tested. The medium lethal dose (LD50) of ECP to rainbow trout and Nile tilapia was greater than 400 μg protein fish–1.
